CLIMBLAB
HMH Outdoors announces distribution to North America of these products made in Denmark. The ClimbLab hold cleaning system creates a safe working environment for your staff, saves time and money, and is the only system on the market designed to handle full crates instead of single holds. The ClimbLab air cleaning system combines an electrostatic filter with a high airflow fan, providing top performance in a compact design which can be installed close to the climbers where it ensures a constant flow of fresh air. Chalk dust is trapped in an aluminum filter cassette which is designed to be washed and re-used, resulting in zero cost for disposable filters and hundreds of filters kept out of landfills.
